In a normal week, former Giants great Michael Strahan doesn't think about the Hall of Fame often. That's going to be very difficult this week with the Super Bowl coming to the area.

Strahan, who missed out on induction to the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility, knows the questions are coming. He’ll have a second crack at being inducted next Saturday when the Hall of Fame committee meets and votes on this year’s class.

“To be honest with you, I haven’t really thought about it. Only time I ever really think about it is when somebody brings it up. I have so much on my plate I don’t really wake up and go, ‘Hall of Fame voting is getting closer and closer,’” Strahan said on a conference call for the Super Bowl with fellow FOX broadcaster Terry Bradshaw.

FOX is broadcasting this year’s game. They should have another Hall of Famer on their pregame show come Sunday. Bradshaw and Howie Long are already in the Hall of Fame.

Strahan was a seven-time Pro Bowler and four-time first-team All-Pro during his 15 years with the Giants. He finished with 141.5 career sacks, including a record 22.5 in a single season.

The popular former defense end and current host of “LIVE with Kelly and Michael” is one of 15 finalists for this year’s Hall of Fame class. He just missed making it last year when Warren Sapp reportedly just beat him out for the spot.

With the Super Bowl in New Jersey and Strahan expected to make it this time around, he knows it will be a topic of discussion in the next eight days.

“I’m sure that will be a lot [of talk] next week,” Strahan said. “It’s one of those things you have no control over. So you just sit back and hope it happens because it’s an incredible honor to be recognized as one of the best players to ever play the game.

“ It’s something that Terry knows all about, that Howie knows all about, and hopefully one day Jimmy [Johnson] will know all about it, and I’ll know all about it. So I hope, but I don’t dwell on it. I just kind of go through my days and we’ll see what happens on Saturday.”
